10K service at the Dealer

Just wait till they forget the oil plug gasket. Or over tq your drain plug.

 

Hahaha! Well, I was just talking about the clutch and potential fender / bumper damage.

But, yeah. An oil change should be a no brainer, but there are way too many posts about folks breaking the filter housings after their last ToyotaCare visit.

 

LOL, same here OP. I had to drive my MT into the shop and then back it back out. Millennial anti-theft device I'm 37 and supposedly I'm a millennial..........

 

You're a skilled millennial.

 

This is part of my theft control measures in my S2000.

 

10k Service - Dealership How-To
*Supersedes Toyota Guidelines and Requirements
Step 1 - Rookie shop kid w/10 min training takes truck to oil change bay
Step 2 - Kid changes oil, hopefully knows the difference between 4cyl & 6cyl fill requirements
Step 2a Optional - Kid may over or under torque drain bolts to their personal preference/ignorance level
Step 3 - Take Toyota 10k inspection form and/or state inspection form, check all boxes as OK
* Note - Do not bother inspecting anything, truck is fine from factory and we only repair things when broken. Do not prevent or
look for opportunities to prevent hassle or save customer time.
Step 4 - Return truck to lot and drop paperwork with reception
Step 5 - Reception takes 10-30 min to see paperwork and notify customer truck is done.

 

I'd rather them come ask me if they dont know how to drive it rather than just trying. I haven't had any issues at my dealer with them driving mine thankfully
